Two Custom Orders

It is not unusual to be putting together a custom order, but two of the same sort of thing in one week is! I had the pleasure of working on these two completely unrelated orders. Each of these 8" x 10" leather journals have a custom painted title page. One in sea foam green leather with slate grey thread, the other in burgundy brown leather with butterscotch thread. Both turned out so beautifully!

New! Hair on Hide Journals!

A whole new type of thing is in my shop now! Made with genuine hair on hide! Yes, the hair is REAL! Perfect for sketches, pen and ink, and writing. Silver snap keeps book securely closed when not in use. Hand sewn in a diamond pattern with strong, natural/tan, waxed linen thread. Diamond pattern on spine adds spine support.

Custom Order - They Just Keep Getting Bigger

This past week I got a custom order for a very large, very beautiful book! My previous custom order was quite large with triple the page count, but 8" x 10" journal takes the lead!

Ready to sew. 10 signatures to make a 300 page count book. 1.8 square feet of leather. 29 feet of thread.

New - 4" x 6" journals!

Blank leather journals are now available in a new size!

These 4" x 6" books can be used as either a journal, sketchbook or mix of both. Great for on the go or in your desk. Made with the same 70lb weight paper and stitching as the larger 5.5" x 7" journals. Available premade, or with the option to choose your own colour combinations.

Custom Order - My Biggest Book Ever!

Custom orders are fun. I am always amazed at the colour combinations (and how good they look together) that my customers choose.

This time around, it wasn't only the burgundy brown leather with great coordinating light rose waxed linen thread, but also ordered were many extra pages - triple the amount in my regular journals!

Sure I've done some large books, but this is by far the thickest!

....And so beautiful too!

200th sale!

This week I got my 200th sale! This bundle of goodies is on it's way to Germany!

Custom Order - Dark Blue Extra Large Sketchbook

A little while ago I got a custom order request for this extra large leather journal. The customer loved the size of the 8" x 10" sketchbook and asked if she could have a custom order for one as she would like to choose her own colours. She choose the leather and thread colours from my regular custom journal listing. This book contains 120 blank, hand torn pages of 70lb (104gsm) weight, acid free drawing paper. It is bound with waxed linen thread and has a silver snap to hold closed. The dark blue leather with the slate grey thread go very nicely together.

New Item - Extra Large Leather Sketchbook

Some regular items in my shop are a result of custom requests. At the beginning of this year a got a request for an extra large, 8" x 10" journal. It turned out very nicely indeed, and now I am please to announce that 8" x 10" journals will be a part of my regular stock.

These journals contain 120 pages of 70lb, acid free, drawing paper. All sewn by hand with strong waxed linen thread. Pages are hand torn for a deckled effect.

Now there are three different sizes of journals I offer in my shop. Check them all out.
